How to find homes for sale not on a housing estate

I am looking to move home and would prefer not to buy on an estate (live on an estate already).
Does anyone know of a search site that lets you select this option?
I know you can specify not a new build.
Thank you

Yeah. Zoopla or Rightmove then check location of each property individually.0

That is what I have been doing and very time consuming. Was hoping that someone would be aware of a site that had an option to remove them from the search.0

Apply to be on Escape to the Country... Or heaven forbid, actually speak to some EAs and tell them what you want.0

My search area is quite large and just wish there were more options available.
I am sure that there are lots of people that do not want to live on an estate.0 -

There are more options available; you are ignoring them. I'm out.0 -

If you use the map option, it's quite clear where the housing estates are and you can avoid looking at the properties there.0 -
I'd drive round the area and find places that I would consider living in. Legwork is worth the effort. As narrows the choices down.0

Try selecting property type Detached - a lot of these would likely be estate located but I suspect a good few will be non estate locations.
Or try a postcode search which you know is rural or a village.0 -

Thank you for your help. I am planning to move quite far away as non estate houses are very expensive here. I have selected detached, no new builds and use the map search and will continue to search this way.
I just thought that there may be a site that offered this option.0
